The Police Turn Over Kills Trunk
TO the Grand Jury---How 1t Was
Found.
The Rondo street patrol wagon pulled
UP in front of the court house yesterday
afternoon. and large boX-shaped some
thing, wrapped in a blanket was un-
loaded and carried carefully up stairs to
the grand jury room. Next the officers
took from the wagon homemade wheel
barrow, which was deposited in the hall
way and Struggled into the jury room
when nobody was looking. The mys-
FERROUS something was the tin trunk of
Jacob Kohn, who was murdered at HaZ-
Yards farm, near Como, on the night OF
Tuesday, Sept. Is. This, with the
wheeIbarrow, which Nicholas Kill. the
supposed murderer, was seen wheeling
along the Como road toward the city, III
the early dawn of the morning following,
supplies the only bit OF evidence
that was lacking to make complete
case against Kill. The trunk and wheel
barrow have been in the possession OF
the officers for some time. They were
found at the house of Pole named Pu-
laSki. on Virginia avenue, near Ed
mundS street, only short distance from
the Como avenue bridge over the Mani
toba track where Kill was passed at
O'Clock that Wednesday morning
by Mr.. Richter. Kill was friend
of Pulaski and he left the evil
dence of his crime at PulaSkl'S house
about 6o'clock that morning. The trunk
contained kohn'S new suit of clothes
and other articles of wearing apparel,
and the blanket taken from Kohn'S
bed, on which
THE BJOOD STAINS
are still apparent. A pair of old boots
strapped to the cover were the boots
which Kill took off when he put on the
new pair belonging to the man he mnr-
dered. The wheelbaTrow is a home
made affair used about the Hazard
premises. The police do not say where
the articles were found, but eXonerate
Pulaski from any endeayor to hide them,
on the ground that he does not under
stand English.
The articles were looked over care
by the grand jury. which was in session
until nearly O'Clock last evening. The
secretary. when asked what they had
done. said: The records have some
times been left in the table and report
erS have been known to get into the
table drawers and find them, but l have
them in my inside pocket, don't you
know, and if anybody sees them he
must be a faster runner than | am.
They will occupy the same bed that [
do tonight, and you might as well keep
away from my room" The business
transacted yesterday related only to the
criminals now in the county Jail, and
there was little said of any gambling or
keeping open after hours.
